FBK Legal at Pravo.ru Litigation Forum

Vladislav Korneichuk, Head of Practice at FBK Legal, has spoken at the Litigation Forum conference hosted by Pravo.ru. During the conference, the attendees discussed how to seek full reimbursement of expenses for their work and who wins in these times of fierce competition in the legal services market. The attendees also touched upon renationalization and turn to the East when choosing new platforms for professional arbitration, etc.

In his speech, Vladislav Korneychuk reviewed judicial practice in big cities and court approaches in the remote regions of Russia. How does this difference in approaches work?

“According to statistics, regional arbitration courts are way more willing (as compared to the Moscow Arbitration Court) to grant plaintiffs’ requests to ban defendants from transactions and other activities related to shares and interests in companies during the proceedings. For instance, the Arbitration Court of the Irkutsk Region made a peculiar judgement for case No. A19-17137/2023. The plaintiff demanded that the defendant be prohibited from disposing of its 14.5% interest in the LLC. Judge Evgeniya Kshanovskaya considered such collateral excessive and merely granted a ban on the disposal of a 0.3% interest”, Vladislav Korneychuk elaborated.
